iPad interactive Berlin Wall exhibit at Bush Center covered by online San Francisco Chronicle

The online edition of the San Francisco Chronicle on Oct. 26, 2010 ran a story on UNE's use of the Apple iPad technology to create an engaging and interactive exhibition to complement its latest Gallery exhibition, “The Berlin Wall: An Interactive Exhibition,” at the George and Barbara Bush Center Gallery. The exhibit showcases the historical evolution of the wall dividing East Berlin from West Berlin, from its creation in August of 1961 to its demolition in October of 1989 and beyond. 

Using iPad’s touch-screen technology, visitors can access a wealth of in-depth resources on the subject while strolling through the Gallery, simply by tapping on an image for more details.  Via the iPad, visitors can experience images, sound, video footage, and documents showing how the English-speaking world saw the Berlin Wall and its consequences, and how German reunification was achieved.
